What is Home School? – A method of educating your children at home as a replacement for public or private school.
U.S. Department of Education Survey on Homeschooling
Why We Home School?
- Preschool training – Bible stories, self control, respect for authority, responsibility, manners.
- Insulate our kids – Have greater influence over who their peers are.
- Character Training – Sherry’s experience as a teacher in the best district in the State of SC
- Authority of Scripture: To be able to teach the Bible as infallible, authoritative, and the literal word of God.
- Ability to tailor teaching to the individual needs of each child (Phonics, more hands on, more field trips)
- Less time spent on academics equals more family time
- Teaching a special needs child without the labels (Heart Protection)
- Educating outside the box. (Telling time – State standards for his age only required him to tell time to the hour.)
- Ability to travel
